Under this parodial guise —though 'our Liberals will sooner forgive, and, indeed, reward, a parody on the Holy Scripture, than on the sufferings of their favourite Villain—it pliinly proves, that so far from BUONAPARTE being either restrained or pu nished too much, not half enough of either re striction or punishment are inflicted upon him. • With more sound principle and argument than these little Brochures usually carry:it totally and at once divests the Corsican of all that adventi tious and fallacious glare, which in the same mo ment gave to his crimes encouragement, and re ward, akd admiration, and impunity. it puts him at once in his only' proper situation—that of an outlawed felow, in whose favour the gallows has beengnitigated—mOst unfortunately!—into trans portation': All.his outrages are graduated on the same scale;, his murders, his thefts, his burnings, fail bigamy are stripped of their arrogwed - porvle, and clothed in their native rags; till the Savage of St. Cloud appears, as he ought to appear, the Bully of St. Giles's. . ' Nevertheless, the 's ca l e i s perfectly correct : the crimes of 13CIONAPARTF. are not exaggerated; they are only vulgarised.- Scarcely indeed this, if we look to the character of their meanly born and meanly acting perpetrator. Adverting to the NtcnoLAs- , Nfas sentenced to Botany Bay by the. Recorder, and tO NicnoLAs only, his remonstrarce ,appears contemptibly impudent :—let us then . compare it with The reclainations of NAPoLBON BUONAPAIITE ; and when we quadrate the of fences of the two felons, it will sbew us that each is punished with equal justice, and !Oared with equal forbearatiee.: The point comes to this. No reasonable being will think NICHOLAS NIN ill used :—but if BCO NAPARTE'S offenCvs are exactly similar, BCONA.. PARTE'S similar usage 'cannot be unjust. To those who think him exempted from the general scale of human reckoning, a , JI that the . crime of his commission becomes a virtue, we have nothing fart her to say. We leave them-to subscribe for Jacobin lioNs, and to vote for Jacobin Woot.Ert. But to the fairly intending, thongli carelessly thinking part of the community, wi►o gape at and read such fellows, .we will draw the irresistible inference of this pleasant little Pamph. get—that the profits of a crime cannot justify its perpetration ; that the originally low Villain can never become high . by his villainy ; and that a Usurper can no more. legitimate his dynasty by wearing a Crown, than a footpad C. 14 legalize his plunder by knocking down its owner. * The real Christian name, if the term is not profaned by applying it to ALt litioN.trAttre., is sail to be Nicholas, not apoleon.

The last day will be Thursday 'the 9th of April, when the Two- Prizes of 30,0001.', and 35 ocher Capitals, which yet remain in the Wheel, must be drawn provisions, it is observed, may he reoired to carry his Royal Highness's intention into effect. It then informs them, that the provisional agree ment entered into by the Commissioners for both the Canadas, relative to the revenue, and the ac counts of last year's, expenditure, and the esti mates of the current year, would De laid before them . . Their attention is directed to the great benefit likely to result to tlie province' front the emigration front this country, countenanced by his Majesty's Government ; anti the expediency is suggested of assisting the emigrants, by providing the means of defraying the expences of the loca tion and grant of lands bestowed on them. The measures adopted by the executive, to prevent the Americans from settling in Upper Canada, and the general system upon which the concerns of that province arc administered, are strongly re probated in an address to theland-owners by Mr. R. Gout.lay, who recently emigrated from this country. He urges them to petition. the Legisitt.• tore upon the subject,..and supplies them with a .form to the following effect : That God has given to the people of Lipper Canada•, for au inheritance, one. of the fairest portions glohe ; that Upper Canada is subject to the mildest INl , :narch upon the earth, and fortes part of that nation, which, fin wi,dom and power, has outshone every other ; that, • neverth,less,. this province, so happily circumstanced, is in a state of waste and decay ; that there must Ijp some great cause or causes Which produce effects so ciniatural. Your petitionet s,'t here .fore, most earnestly entreat ycur Hon. Av-nibly to mote se rious inquiry into the same, and take effectual steps towards promoting the prosperity of the province., and your Neti• tiOners shall ever pray." Quebeb Papers have arrived to the 13th ult.— :They are chiefly fillet! with the proceedings in the Nouse of Assembly of Lower Canada. On the 22d of January, the House went into a Commit tee on a•Bill for renewing the gt•aot to his Ma jesty of a duty of V i per •cent. on all merchanflize imported. Several Members, inch,tling' the Speaker, argued io favour of the propos , .!l ;irarit, and . none exprussed at:y tisscnt from the mea sure. There seems to be an unanimous disposi tion in the Assembly to relieve the Mother Coun try from the expence of the civil government of the province. Upon the supposition of the pro posed grant being continued, one Member esti mated the revenue at 80,0001 and :he expendi ture at 60,0001. affording an .annual snrplus of 20,0001. applicable, under a vote of the Legisla ture, to the promotion of the internal prosp rity of the country, by opening nets roads, cons: nict lug bridges, forming canals, &c. The Speaker, in the course of his observations on the Bill, drew a most flattering picture of•the acinal state of the province, and particularly directed the attention of the House to the bright prospect of augment ed prosperity, arising from its being necessarily the commercial entrepot for the immense tert , ito. ries, British and American, on both sides of the Lakes, the cultivation of which was making. the most rapid progt%..ss. Ile stared that the people of Canada paid fewer imposts than any other ci vilized people on earth; and nine-tenth's of the amount were paid at a single p or t o f entr y, I n adhering to the existing system of taxation, they would have to maintain only a small number of custom-1106Se officers, instead of a host of ex cisemen. To prevent the inconvenience resulting to mercantile ,speculations, from a fluctuating sys tern of import duties, he 'suggested the- Apediency of at once prolonging the .grant for four years.— This proposition was assented to, and the Bill went through the Committee. •The , same day, a Bill for ratifying the articles of agreement rela tive to _duties between Upper and Lower Canada W4ll read a second time. By these last advices, it appears that Sir John. Sherbrooke was much better : in his health. Thit a Commission was gone out to found the Col lege, for which the late Mr. M‘Gill had bequeathed 10,0001. and that the province was expecting in structions to be sent out to the Governor to ren der available to site Protestant. Clergy of the. C olony, the proportions of lite Land allotted to them under the Grants of the Crown, of which hitherto .they had not received the benefit.— That the Mercantile' Interests fully belie , ed their application to the Ministers would prevent any alteration in the Wood Duties in this Country, and that the instructions sent out last year to prohibit importations from the United States by the inland Navigations, would be withdrawn, and every encourt;ement given to a trading inter course with all the Countries of tie Interior.— That the population of - both Provinces was great ly increasing, and if it pleased the Almighty to bless them with a fine harvest, the most beneficial consequences would result from their improved conditiou.
